Easy To UseSeptember 16, 2016

Made an awesome necklace with this! I am a beginner and this was a very easy product to use!

The wire has nice qualities and drapes very well, though after around 6 months my bracelet broke in the middle. It could be because of the weight of the beads, I used 12mm quartz. For heavier beads is better using heavy duty wire.

Zamba Pro is the best all around beading wire I have found.The drape is excellent, your pieces look exactly as they should when finished. I have been making jewelry for over 10 years and would recommend Zamba Pro to any one that makes jewelry.

I'm very new at making jewelry so I just learning what products to use. I wanted to make a pearl necklace from a pattern provided on Art Beads. ZambaPro wire was recommended. I'm very happy with it. It was easy to work with and the pearls have nice movement. They were not stiff as they were with other wire that I tried.

The first order was an error in my order of a range of products to make an Artbeads necklace from the learning centre. However I was very impressed with this Zamba product and that is why I have reordered it now I am running low on the original spool.

I've only made 3 projects with this jewelry wire (fresh water pearl strings) and they all move with ease. I just bought 4mm rice pears and although .014 wire was on the materials list for a project made with them, it also had items that are larger than 4mm, I'm presuming the .019 wire will accept a range of drilled hole sizes. Since I wasn't able to find a review that talked about this aspect of the ZambaPro .019 jewelry wire, when my 4mm pearls arrive, if the .019 wire works with them, I'll be sure to update this review to let you all know. So far, so good (GREAT!)! Lovely moveability :)

I love this wire! This size fits most every bead, it is strong, flexible, fits most every bead and does not kink. Great for working off the wire roll.

I really like the packaging - the flexible back allows you to pop it open, pull out what you need and pop it back to hold it fairly secure. I like that you don't have to completely take any part of the packaging off and then try to get back on, just flips back and forth.

Seems to be a very nice quality beading wire. It is very flexible for 49/.19 wire. Love the conatiner. Wish it was a little lighter in color. It really shows through on some beads. As for durability....I haven't used it long enough to comment. If any of my pieces come back to me broken.....I'll let you know!

This wire is really soft and flexible but my favorite thing about it is the package. I love the way it flips open to use the string and then closed to keep it from unravelling all over...very innovative design!

This is the first time I've used ZambaPro and must say I am very impressed. It has a much softer feel than other brands that I've tried (and I think I've just about tried them all). I love its flexibility and the fact that it did not break or pull out of the crimp bead even on one of my heavier necklaces. I used this product on one side of an asymmetrical, black & white necklace, the other side was wire link work so most of the necklace weight was on the beading cable wire, ZambaPro held the weight beautifully.ZambaPro's self-sealing, bobbin-like container is an added plus. Though it is a bit more pricey than some other brands I think over all it is a better product and I will continue to use it.

This jewelry wire is very easy to work with as it's pliable and soft yet strong. I used it for my first bracelet and was delighted with its ease of use as I strung the beads onto it after attaching it to one end of the toggle and crimping it and adding a cover to the crimp tube. I highly recommend using this wire for designs not requiring a heavier wire. It was perfect for the Sonoma Bracelet I made which is found in the Learning Center.

I used this to bead a Swarovski crystal and Sterling Silver bracelet. It is strong and flexible. The only thing that I don't like is that the color is not clear like the description says. The color is a dark gray, like shown on the picture, not clear as printed on the pacakaging. When you use the light Swarovski crystal, you can see the gray wire through the beads. The product still produce a beautiful bracelet!

I generally use .012 or .014 wire, so the sample wire is a lot larger than I prefer, but I tried it, of course. I very much like the look, feel and "drape." Would love to see it in a smaller size. (Yes, I know, a smaller size would probably mean fewer strands, so it wouldn't be as nice and flexible. One can hope though....)

I REALLY like the packaging -- the soft flexible plastic that folds back down to hold the thread stationary so it doesn't unwind. I would very much like to see this item carried in 100 foot rolls, in the .014 thickness.

and was quite curious to see how it compared to the wire I was using. I tried it, making an item I normally used my other wire on - and this was SUPERB!! I've given up the other brand...and am exclusively using this...in the .019 and .024!!

This is by far the best wire I have used. I love how my jewelry drapes when using this wire! Just be sure when finishing your piece that you don't crimp too tight and your necklaces and bracelets will be very soft and drapeable (if that is a word)! The packaging...FABULOUS!

I formerly purchased this type of wire holder from another vendor. When they quit carrying it, I had to re-wind the wire onto an old spool that I had saved. You don't have to cut off a length of wire and hope your have enough or that your beads will fall off the other end. Just start stringing beads and when you have your desired length, tie off the stringing end, then cut the spool end with enough left to tie it off. No more wasted wire or running out of wire.

I purchased this wire based on positive reviews of it here on Artbeads. I found that the packaging is so convenient that I would almost buy it for that over other wire. I used this to make a very well packed, chunky Czech glass and silver and pewter charms bracelet. I wear the bracelet regularly and it has performed well. The drape is nice as well. Easy to string. I only gave it a good on quality and value as I wait to see how it performs over a longer period of time.

I'm so glad that I tried this brand.I really like working with this wire, It's the only one I buy now. The designs stay durable, yet they don't feel stiff at all.I've recommended it to other beaders & the local shop owners.I'd love to see this brand come out with a pearl, copper & gold toned lines to co-ordinate with other metals or crystals.

I am very disappointed in the quality of this wire. I have been creating jewelry for 22 years now (since I was 5 years old), and have tried all sorts of jewelry wire. This is by far the worst wire I have used, which was very disappointing because of all the rave reviews it has received on here. I decided to try this wire because my normal wire (Soft Touch, 49 strand .19 beading wire) was all sold out. This wire is a lot thinner than Soft touch, which means it's not as strong. The price of this wire is great, but I am selling my jewelry and need "quality", over a great price. I agree, the container the wire comes in, is great. However, not worth the quality of this product. If you are making jewelry for yourself or just starting out, this may be a great choice. But, if you are selling your jewelry, invest in a better quality product. I have received a few emails from customers saying I need to fix their pieces, because of this wire. I have never had that problem before (I've been in business over 4 years now). Very frusterating and disappointing. Oh, one more thing, do NOT use the magical crimping tool with this wire. This wire is too thin.

I have tried several different types of beading wire and had some kind of problem with each type of wire.Not with Zamba Pro. - does not kink, yet ties off well and makes good knot . It is now my preferred wire for beading.

In the last 5 years, I have used all of the 49 strand nylon coated stainless steel beading wires and like Zamba Pro the best. I make gemstone necklaces. I have found that most brands are pretty similar in price and performance. What makes ZP my favorite is that the cut (stringing) end doesn't fray; this is important when stringing 4 mm gemstone beads with tiny and sometimes irregular holes. The end stays intact and doesn't snag. The spool is also great; it is one piece, compact, and neatly holds the wire so it doesn't unwind.
